Move It Monday: Tread it Out

Decisions, decisions … what ought I do today? With limitless classes and possibilities at Hilton Head Health guests have the opportunity to participate in anything they desire! What’s interesting though is that the most popular class at H3 involves one of the universal least desired pieces of equipment: the notorious treadmill. This would lead you to believe that treading real isn’t too popular? Nevertheless, I am here to tell you that is lie, treading is truthfully the most popular class at H3.

Treading

So what makes this class so cherished? Here are the top ten reasons as to why guests love to tread it out, I am positive many of our guests would agree!

1)      Time flies when you tread it out.  In the midst of so many different elevation and speed intervals the class seems to be over before it even begins!

2)      Allows all participants to work at their own pace.  Every class becomes your own workout and it’s great because class after class an individual can challenge themselves further!

3)      Ability to use what you want.  What's more! You can use virtually any piece of exercise equipment such as a treadmill, elliptical, NU Step.

4)      it's different each class.  Typically there are 3 hills and 2 speed intervals per workout, but they always differ in time and intensity.

5)      A variety of instructors and music.  Nearly all instructors at H3 teach treading so there’s constantly a new motivator (a.k.a. instructor) and fresh music!

6)      Priceless Camaraderie.  At all times there are lots of partakers. Exercise classes are always more fun and inspiring with more people!

7)      A workout to take home.  Treading is transferable. Without a doubt an exercise class that can be performed with a friend or at the gym back home.

8)      Encourages good posture, long strides, and deep breathing.  Treading class really develops lasting safe exercise skills

9)      You sincerely sweat it out.  Such a great workout that it’s easy to sweat! However, it’s so fun that nobody minds!

10)  Afterwards you feel amazing.  Time and time again guests have mentioned that they feel refreshed! “Man, I feel great” or “That was an awesome workout!”

Therefore, when you return to Hilton Head Health or stay for your very first time – make sure to sign up early for treading. Otherwise, you’ll really be missing out on the top ten reasons to Tread it Out!
